The SI unit of power, the watt, is named after James Watt, for his contributions to the development of the steam engine. The symbol for watts is a capital W. The watt is a derived unit, equal to 1 joule of energy per second, a rate of conversion of energy. In electricity, 1 watt is 1 ampere at 1 volt (watts = amps X volts).
